Original Toronto Star caption: Castle but no king: Scarborough Alderman Brian Ashton is not happy with the bare bones office furniture (left) supplied by the city. He recently brought a love seat and sofa to his office (right) to provide a better working atmosphere. But the city is adamant it will uphold a 1972 policy calling for standardized office furnishings to match the building's decor.
